Update: Connecting to protect and detect

YPB Group has completed the acquisition of privately-held proximity marketing company nTouch for A$4.5m in shares at 35c/share. The acquisition extends its anti-counterfeiting expertise in B2C and positions it as one of the only companies globally to offer end-to-end counterfeit protection solutions. We have incorporated nTouch into our forecasts and included some recent contract wins. This has resulted in both an upgrade to our CY15e and CY16e forecasts and an increase in our DCF valuation to A$0.50/share from A$0.37/share previously.
